STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 357,961, dated February15, 1887.

Application filed July 24, 1886. Serial No. 208,986.

To all whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHAR-LES KIBLER, J r., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Newark, in the county of Licking and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representa tion of a plan view with thetop plate removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line a: as, Fig. 1.Fig. 3'is a transverse vertical section on line y 3 Figs. 1 and 2.

This invention relates to improvements in box-stoves, the object beingto construct a seven-plate box-stove in such manner that the pipe-collarmay be situated on the rear part of the top plate of the stove insteadof on the front part thereof, as is the usual construction, and so thata return-flue may be made to said collar from the fines running from theopening in the roof of the fire-box, thus keeping the heat and productsof com- .bustion a longer time between said top and roof, so that acertain degree of heat at the top of the stove may be produced with lessfuel.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination ofparts, as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

The invention is a seven-plate box-stove, as will appear from thefollowing description of parts.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates thebase-plate of the stove, supported on the legs a, either flanged andbolted thereto or attached thereto by lugs and tongue in the usualwell-known manner.

B is the extended front end of the baseplate, having formed in it theash recess or pit B covered, when the draft is lessened, by theremovable plate I), as shown. 7

G O are the sides of the stove, having the outstanding lugs c c on theirlower edges, through which they are bolted to the base- (No model.)

plate. The front edges of the sides are rabbeted to make close jointswith the inwardlybent side edges of the front plate, D, the lower edgeof which is held in a groove of the baseplate. The rear edges of thesides are similarly rabbeted to make similar joints with the rear plate,E, the lower edge of which is similarly held in a groove in thebase-plate.

F is the door, hinged over a suitable open ing in the front plate andclosing with a catch of ordinary construction.

G is the roof-plate of the fire-box, formed below said plate by thesides, ends, and floor of the stove. The roof is retained in place bythe screws or bolts 9, which pass through proper openings made centrallyin its front and rear ends, and engage in threaded openings in lugs g,standing inward from the front and rear plates. The said plates are alsobound securely in place by the screws 9.

II H are the flueopenings of the roof G, made at the corners of the rearends.

I I are vertical longitudinal partial partitions on the top of theroofG. The said partitions run from the rear edge of the roof to pointsnear the front edge of the same, making, when the top of the stove is inplace, the dues t i and z" between the former, and the openings Hentering the fines i at the rear end of the stove, but having nocommunication with the central flue, i. The partitions I can be eithercast in one piece with the roof-plate G or made detachable therefrom.

K is the top plate of the stove, which is properly secured by bolts orotherwise upon the top edges of the sides and ends, the said edges beingrabbeted to make a close joint with the downwardly-flanged edges of thetop plate.

L is the pipe-collar made in the top plate near its rear edge andcommunicating with the central flue, t, as shown. The base-plate, thetwo side plates, the two end plates, the roof-plate, and the top platemake in all seven plates.

The draft, as indicated by the arrows, is from the fire-box openings Hforward through the fines i, and then rearward through the central flue,t",thus retaining the heat longer under the top plate.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

1. In a seven-plate box-stove, the combination of the fire-boxroof-plate G, having the flue-openings H at its rear corners, the topplate of the stove having the pipe-collar K, made centrally near itsrear edge, and the partial partitions I, making the fines i i and ibetween the said roof and top plate, the former of which partitionscommunicate with the flueopenings of the roof Gand the latter with thepipe-collar, substantially as specified.

2. The herein described seven-plate boxstove, composed of the base-plateA, the side plates, 0 G, the front plate, D, prdvided with ,the door F,the rear plate, E, the top plate,

K, provided with the pipe-collar L, the roofplate G of the fire-box,provided with the flueopenings H H, and the partial partitions I I,forming the fines i 1; z" between the top plate of the stove and theroof-plate of the fire-box, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
